Asian Law Caucus: Understanding Trump's "Expanded Travel and Immigration Ban" --Guides & Reports

The Asian Law Caucus ("Understanding Trump's `Expanded Travel and Immigration Ban'") explains, and offers Guides & Reports, on the Trump administration's latest travel bans.

"On December 16, 2025, the Trump administration issued a proclamation expanding its June 2025 travel and immigration ban, or `June Ban' as we refer to it in this resource, on the travel and immigration of people from more than 19 countries. Both the “June Ban” and the ban issued in December, while often called `travel bans,' affect much more than travel. We refer to the ban issued in December as the `Expanded Travel and Immigration Ban' in this resource, and it will affect people from 39 countries, as well as people with travel documents from the Palestinian Authority from traveling and immigration to the United States.

When the `Expanded Travel and Immigration Ban' takes effect, the Trump administration will limit or bar entry into the U.S. for people from almost 20 percent of the countries in the world. It targets Muslim-majority, Black-majority, Brown-majority, African, and Southeast Asian countries."
